ButtonCombo writes: For those of you who find “under a rock” to be a nice place to live, Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution is a highly anticipated 3rd/1st person shooter with RPG elements, set in the year 2027 and is, unsurprisingly, the second sequel to the genre-defining Deus Ex, released in 2001. With just over a month to go now until its European release date, we look at how the game is shaping up, and whether or not it can live up to its award-laden ancestor.
Nightdive would "love to remaster" Deus Ex, among a few other games. How can we make this happen.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
Actually can not wait for this game. Sure to be absolutely huge this holiday season. If only their were two tiered cities in real life...
I paid for my copy off Steam already, can't wait for this :D. Just started playing through the original again with a few mods to bring it upto date for the year 2011.
Deus ex is one of my favorite games EVER. I cant wait for this. but the original DX came out in 2000, not 2001. I remember because I bought it when it first came out simply because it was a FPS and "the guy on the cover looked like Neo." Turns out the game was amazing.
Im getting this For sure.
Not long to go, fellas.
Must buy...I just hope the pacing is as good as the original. Some downtime from the action would be appreciated. Hopefully, we get to see some of the old characters, I wouldn't mind beating on Gunther Hermann again.
